Stomach Cancer Awareness Month®

No Stomach For Cancer is actively involved in raising awareness and providing information about the prevalence of and risks for stomach cancer. In 2010 we successfully championed the first ever US resolution designating November as Stomach Cancer Awareness Month! Organizations and people throughout the world have come to recognize November, a month known for the pleasure of eating, as the ideal month to raise awareness about this deadly disease. The second leading cause of cancer death worldwide, almost one million people are diagnosed each year, and approximately 800,000 will die.
